Due to the continual increase of the significance of information technology (IT), the need to provide governance in the deployment, use and management of the artefacts is simultaneously essential. However, even though different frameworks have been employed, the implementation of IT governance has never been easy for many organisations. This is attributed to many factors, such as people, process and technological artefacts. IT governance frameworks differ in one area or another, making their selection challenging for organisations. As a result, some organisations have more than one IT governance framework. This, on one hand, sometimes results in duplication of the frameworks’ functionalities, thereby adding to the environment complexity. On another hand, some IT governance frameworks are short of functions in regard to the organisation’s objectives. These challenges are attributed to the lack of an architectural framework, of consolidated best practices.

Information technology (IT) menjadi semakin penting bagi organisasi perguruan tinggi (dan organisasi lainnya) karena dapat memudahkan pelaksanaan proses bisnis dan meningkatkan keunggulan kompetitif. Melalui IT, proses bisnis dapat dilaksanakan lebih mudah, cepat, efisien, dan efektif. IT juga menawarkan banyak peluang kepada perguruan tinggi untuk meningkatkan kinerja, mentransformasi pelayanan, pasar, proses kerja, dan hubungan-hubungan komunitas dan riset. Karenanya, IT governance saat ini menjadi salah satu critical success factor (CSF) bagi para pemimpin (CIOs) dan mitra perguruan tinggi untuk mengoptimalkan peran IT dalam efektifitas peningkatan aset, capaian kinerja, sasaran, tujuan, misi dan visi organisasi. Namun demikian, kompleksitas penerapan IT pada organisasi menimbulkan kesukaran pada berbagai level pemimpin dan stakeholder dalam memahami, membuat dan menerapkan IT governance di perguruan tinggi. Akibatnya manfaat penggunaan IT yang didapatkan perguruan tinggi dirasakan belum sebanding dengan nilai investasi yang telah dikeluarkan. Untuk itu, artikel ini membahas tinjauan tentang IT governance, prinsip-prinsip dan pedoman yang ditetapkan oleh para ahli IT governance di lapangan, struktur IT governance di perguruan tinggi, komite IT governance secara intensif, dan rekomendasi prototype good IT governance yang dapat diterapkan di perguruan tinggi.

Governments and Financial Institutions in the emerging economies have recognized the enormous untapped potential of human capital at the “Bottom of the Pyramid,” for fuelling the growth of the economy, and have identified easy access to capital as a key factor in realizing this potential. Many of the central banks and financial services trade associations are also in the process of creating a regulatory and governance framework that is conducive for financial services players to fulfil the need and the potential of this market, at the same time minimising the risks for all stakeholders. The Microfinance sector is thus seeing a rapid expansion in terms of geographical reach, and an explosive growth in terms of the number of service providers and customers. Given that Information Technology (IT) is a critical enabler for this growth, there is a large rush of IT providers eager to service this market. This brings with it (a) the risk that inappropriate or substandard IT solutions are implemented, resulting in wastage of resources, and (b) the potential for misuse and fraud. This chapter makes a case for creating an IT requirements and governance framework at a policy level, in order to ensure that the needs of this market are properly serviced, and resources are optimally and efficiently deployed, so that the benefits of Information Technology flow through to the grassroots level.
